WASHINGTON, D.C.—ICMA, the International City/County Management Association, welcomes CostTree, a premier, cloud-based cost allocation plan software platform, to the ICMA Strategic Partners Program at the general partner level.

CostTree strives to help clients spend less time worrying about whether or not their spreadsheet formulas are correct and more time determining how to put more resources toward the departments, projects, and people that keep our nation running.

“We at ICMA look forward to our new partnership with CostTree, an organization that helps communities manage their finances more cost effectively,” said ICMA Executive Director Robert J. O’Neill, Jr. “Knowing where and how the money is being spent is essential to local government leaders to run their communities well. The ability to see real-time, accurate expenditures and cohesive and correct spending reports will enable our members to better manage their communities.”

“CostTree’s partnerships with cities, counties, and special districts across the U.S. continue to be our number one focus, so we are excited to announce our strategic partnership with ICMA” said Nicolie Cass Lettini, CEO of CostTree. “We look forward to supporting the members of ICMA in every way possible and to sharing with them the impact that indirect cost allocation and true cost can have on their organization. Our goal at CostTree is to help organizations maximize reimbursements to the general fund as well as accurately reflect the true cost of programs and grants to make better strategic decisions that can have a larger impact on the communities they serve.”

ICMA created its Strategic Partners Program in 1996 as an access point for private sector participation in association programs and activities. ICMA Strategic Partners help professional local government managers and their staffs by showcasing leading practice solutions and providing thought leadership.
